About Me

I am a mom of 4 kids(13,12,10 and 8)who taught preschool for 2 years.
I hope you can use this blog as a resource to find fun activities to do with your children. Some ideas are new, while others have been around a while. This is a place where I can store all our activities without having to actually have to store them in my attic. I hope you find some fun and easy ideas.

First, paint craft sticks white. Allow to dry. Do a thin coat so that way the paint will dry faster. It is suppose to look like a fence, so if some wood shows through, that is O.K.Glue sticks together in a fence pattern.

Cut out petals from foam pieces. I used 5 to 6 petals for each flower.Cut out 3 leaves, same shape as petals.For the stems I cut out thin strips of foam, but pipe stem cleaners would work great too.

Glue on petals, stems, leaves and pom-poms.

Then glue each end of pipe stem cleaner to the back and shape into a triangle.

This one is Colton's.

This one is Cody's.

This one is Cheyanne's. I used ribbon as a hanger but I like the pipe stem cleaner better.

I was going to e-mail you when it dawned on me that I don't have your e-mail. So, I will write it on here.

I'm copied some of your pictures from this post and sent it to the "assisted living home" our girl scout troops are involved with....the girls are going to come have lunch and do a craft with the residents. They offered to supply the supplies (which is a bonus because it saves us money). I totally think this would be a great door "wreath" for them. We like to do stuff that decorates their doors (there is about 60 doors). I hope they go for it. Thanks for the idea.

glad your feeling better. We have had the flu around here also. I kept the draps drawn for two days in a row and didnt even know it was nice outside. Its funny how much you miss when your trying to just get by.

Oh not you too Jen :( I hope that you are feeling better soon ..it's a nasty one ..hugs.Can't wait to try this lovely craft with McKenna,it will brighten our home up nicely thanks!actually i agree with all the gals you are the queen of crafts..

An update: The activities director wants us to come do this craft with the residents. I think I will have the fences painted and the petals cut out before I arrive. Where did you buy your supplies?We don't go to the assisted living home until the first Saturday in May. Are you feeling better?~Amy
